12/2016 - Playa chiquita casino disco

How can Uber make money charging 3rd world prices? What is their cut on a 100P fare?

[QueGuapo]

All I can tell you is that it was busy when I got there just after 1am, but that was grand opening night. Guessing that it will fill shortly after everywhere else closes. See what the future holds but not likely I'll go back and with the associated costs and distance it might not help it's cause.

I went there on Tuesday, not impressed I have to say

Care to elaborate why? Curious....

Care to elaborate why? Curious....

The place is smaller than I thought...
not many people ( I would say at peak time we were probably around 100/120 people.
and the prices are high:
presidente pequena is 150 pesos
un trago ( baileys) was 350 pesos
the music selection was so so...
the bartenders and waiters were not very pretty...
i don't want to say it's a horrible place because it is not but overall I don't see myself going there often.

What's the latest on this place? Has it been closed already?

Haven't been by there personally, but several in town have told me it's no longer open. Didn't last too long.....

I don't know the reason for it not lasting but.....



To travel there round trip once a day would cost 400 to 600 pesos if the motos and taxis charged 200 to 300 one way. Not many people will pay that.

Isnt this the Place WILLY, " El Chamo" opened ?

Of course it would get shut down.. as long as Iliana is the Mayor ,there is no way this guy gets to open a "Club" of any kind in Sosua.
A pretend Restaurant ? Maybe , maybe. personally i think she will do everything she can to have that shut down too, when he opens

IMHO

Bobby has a Better shot of opening Rumba as a WHORE Bar again

again imho.

AN UPDATE . . .

Another business CLOSED in Sos�a last week. Willie/Armando's "Latin Club" disco, located inside the Playa Chiquita casino, was closed down by the authorities. Not even lasting a month after the much heralded grand opening. However Willie has been assuring everyone that this is just a "technicality" and it will be re-opening "any day". Hmmm, where have we heard that before?"

Not sure how accurate it is , but he seems to know more than most whats going on in town, some suspect he may be working for the Mayor directly ?
who knows .. could be real or fake .
maybe Someone in town can check for live update ..

He sure acts like he is in the know with a direct link to the Mayors office or something

I tried questioning him on where he gets all his inside info before.

He didn't seem to like it to much.

Maybe he is here as well under another name but I doubt it.

Thanks for the research and updating us. Sorry I thought you were jumping to conclusions based on Irie's post

[The Sage]

I was in the place just last Sunday and it was packed. I came away unimpressed. I didn't like the layout and drinks were overpriced and weak.

[officemgr]

paid 300 for taxi back. nothing to get in.

200 moto there
200 to get in
200 moto back to room

I wonder what the taxi guys want to charge.....

Even if you have a car you have those self appointed parking attendants trying to control every parking spot one to two blocks away from the clubs. It does not cost much but every little way that a cent can be squeezed out has been invented in Sosua.

A chic was crying yesterday while telling me that everything in Sosua is money, money, money.... These chics can't keep up with some of the cost if they are not getting any customers.
